ottawajazz Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Back in Ottawa by popular demand! As close as an old friend, as comfortable as an old blanket, the Ottawa Jazz Festival Presents: A Charlie Brown Christmas concert. Jerry Granelli, as one third of the legendary San Francisco-based Vince Guaraldi Trio recorded what is arguably the greatest Christmas album of all time in 1965 – the soundtrack to the animated classic “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. Join us at Dominion-Chalmers United Church for this unique opportunity where Jerry Granelli guides us down his own personal "A Charlie Brown Christmas" memory lane. Hear songs from the award winning television classic performed by the Jerry Granelli Trio at the acoustically perfect Dominion-Chalmers United Church. A perfect show for jazz lovers and a huge amount of fun for the family! This concert/lecture experience promises a nostalgic romp, and an unforgettable Christmas concert from three of Canada’s most celebrated jazz musicians Simon Fisk on bass and Chris Gestrin on piano. Jerry’s tunes have been a part of Christmas tradition for North American families for the past forty-five years. Join this outstanding jazz band for a trip down memory lane and a great musical experience for all!

Velvet Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Cool! I wanted to check this out last year but it was sold out by the time I heard about it. I'm baking in the African sun right now but I can't help it; I have Christmas songs running through my head. Woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Oh, and no ticket fees whatsoever? Very classy jazzfest, very classy.. (though having no hard-copy ticket option is a bit disappointing for us stub-collectors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Granelli is a straight up legend. I had the opportunity to see him a number of times over the years in the Maritimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I found this amusing for some reason, check out who #10 is. Also, many people believed #24 was Courtney Love. Apparently not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's from Jerry Granelli's website: Granelli moved on to the Denny Zeitlin Trio, a group thatincluded bassist Charlie Haden...(and) shared bills at The Matrix andThe Fillmore with Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company and the Grateful Dead. Theyalso accompanied the Dead on their first European tour in 1971. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Funk Dawg Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 I was also a fan of Granelli's. I turned on to him when he released his Granelli "Music Has its Way With Me" and saw him play in Halifax in a trio where he played those metal sculptures with Skip Beckwith. He was a visionary. https://jerrygranelli.bandcamp.com/album/music-has-its-way-with-me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
